    Are your sure they werent Zimbabwean? They sound similar. My white geography had to flee his family tobacco friend as hundreds of black came to his family farm giving them 24 hours to live otherwise they would be killed. So a disliking black people more than just about the colour of their skin. L

    South African and Nigerian aren't races though, they are nationalities.

    I hate when people use this argument as if it makes it ok to generalise a group of people just because it's not racism by definition.

    It's that type of thinking which means things like the famine, penal laws and even the humble "paddy irishman" joke get brushed under the carpet.

    While I don't condone racism, its very easy for us here in ireland to criticise such a mentality without having an appreciation for how things are at the moment over in South Africa, and indeed the likes of Zimbabwe. Relative to South Africa, we have zero experience of racism or racial divides in this country, so we can't relate

    Again, I'm not condoning the mentality, however people need to understand that South Africa is a dangerous place, and its very easy to see how these attitudes are nurtured among the middle class, in otherwise decent, rational people


    Liamosails post above puts it in context for me .


  • Banned (with Prison Access) Posts: 15 Syllabus.


    There are differences between races and nationalities - that's a fact; we're not all the same in many senses. But at the very basic level, we are just humans who generally experience the same emotions, hopes and fears. While it's fair enough to refer to broad trends, it's not fair to apply them to individuals.

    No you're not. Black people always refer to themselves as black. :confused:

    they also refer to themselves as N---ers - so I can too,no?


    it depends on what happens to be considered fashionable at that time

    used to be 'coloured' when I was young

    It's not really though. It's the type of thinking that leads to generalisations in the first place that is the problem.

    I made a tongue in cheek comment about white South Africans and was accused of having a dig at Afrikaners. Not all white South Africans are Afrikaners, the same as not all Irish people are white, not all Kenyan people are black, and not all Iraqi people are Arab.

    Pardon the pun, but nothing is ever as black and white as some people try to make it.

    Then the backpacker said "well I don't like em".
    Since 1994, about 4000 white farmers have been butchered in SA (6000 whites altogether), and it's not really a safe in some parts. A lot of white people can't just walk down the road, as it's pretty dangerous in some parts neighbourhoods. So although I won't condone their racism, I do understand why they feel that way.

    The SA government aren't helping the genocide of the white people, but they're doing sweet f**k all to stop it.

    The truth is that if somebody did say there was some genetic basis for Irish cops, firemen, builders, soldiers and dodgy politicians, they'd be laughed at. It's a cultural thing. Yet here you are with some pseudo scientific blather about blacks....

    You're talking about assimilation. That's the tyranny of the majority. You know we tried assimilation with Travellers here and it was a disaster. Do you respect that Travellers have their very own way of life that deserves to be treated as such by the state?

    The Middle Ages was probably more violent.

    We, in the north of the world at least, since WWII live in just about the least violent period of recorded history.

    The Southern Hemisphere, has it less good, but they are no more or less bloody than the previous few millennia, it's just a lot easier to kill a lot of people now than it was even 200 years ago thanks to modern weapons and the population of the world is several times the size it was just a few centuries ago.

    On a per-capita basis, we are probably seeing less deaths due to war now than ever before, there's that many more of us.

    Try looking up how many blacks were killed by the whites, compared to how whites were killed by blacks.

    Oh, and since the blacks took over, the place has gone to hell. Seems they found out that when you loot the farm, and kill the farmer, the crop doesn't magically come back. I think they're (black folk) just generally starving now.

    Thats what South Africa's Minister of Sport, Fikile "black people cant swim" Mbalula thinks too.

    Tried to find the article I read before, he basicly said they wont be applying quotas to South Africa Swimming because black people cant swim.

    So saying black people cant swim isnt racist, at least one black person thinks so too.

    Yup. I actually agree with that myself just worded it poorly. I'm just shocked at some if this.

    Not all people are equal but they must all be given equality of opportunity, or are people seriously suggesting that we only allow Asians to be mathematicians and Samoans to play rugby and so on.

    You see each people and ethnic group has it's own personality much the same as each individual person embodies one. As a single person acquires his own interest, custom, like and dislikes, so too does vast groups of interrelated people in the form of culture, tradition and folk-memory.

    I see. So ethnic groups operate like ants or bees; as a hive mind?
    Without these things there can be no such thing as 'history' or even language, as they preclude them. This is the traditional and classic humanitarian way of looking at collectives of persons & families.

    Without the non existent hive mind ethnic groups you've fabricated there can be no language or history? What are you on about?

    I'm sure this higher perspective must seem relatively quaint to you in the great age of the smartphone society, however it has it merits as a base for real, actual tolerance.

    What? Your obtuseness is tiresome.
    People live as a part of collectives - this is undeniable; and when this collective feels secure the individual feels secure. When a person's own people is secure only at this point can a bridge be erected to friendship with other peoples and only then can ties be forged.

    Could you come down from the clouds and provide some a real-world examples of this because your concepts are a little opaque.
    Economic globalistion, which is little more than nation-robbing, does nothing to provide this security of character or people which we all seek.

    Mcdonalds and Starbucks are robbing people of their sense of security? Is this what you're trying to say?
    Therefore conflict is fermented from within and without the society. The modern age is the most violent in known history,

    This is nonsense. The world has never been a more safe and peaceful place to live.

    we now see power politics, factionalism on every social issue, nobody agrees on anything because nobody holds the same values any longer.

    When has it ever been any different?
    Multiculturalism, - a policy that promotes multiple values

    There is no conspiratorial orthodoxy on Multiculturalism.
    Multiculturalism can be seen to be a abject failure.

    Where?
    (Indeed, was it even meant to succeed? Of course not). Only unintelligent people cannot grasp this because they have never acquired the skill of foresight based on factual evidence.

    You make it sound as if a plan to force multiculturalism upon us, inasmuch as such an orthodoxy exists, was decided by a secret cabal. There's a conspiracy theories forum here for that you know?

    Well aware of it and its dubious 'science'.
    Nearly all the research that Murray and Herrnstein relied on for their central claims about race and IQ was funded by the Pioneer Fund, described by the London Sunday Telegraph (3/12/89) as a "neo-Nazi organization closely integrated with the far right in American politics." The fund's mission is to promote eugenics, a philosophy that maintains that "genetically unfit" individuals or races are a threat to society.

    <snip>

    The Pioneer Fund was set up in 1937 by Wickliffe Draper, a millionaire who advocated sending blacks back to Africa.

    <snip>

    The fund's first president, Harry Laughlin, was an influential advocate of sterilization for those he considered genetically unfit.
